Highlights

As a researcher in both art and architectural history, David Ruell brings an uncommon depth of understanding to his work. He has worked with many agencies and property owners in the region, particularly in New Hampshire, to record and research numerous historic buildings and structures, from whole villages and downtown districts to individual houses, churches, town halls, libraries, schools, commercial buildings and bridges.

National Register designation helps state, local, and federal agencies identify important historic properties worthy of preservation. Once designated, a historic place will be taken into consideration in planning and development decisions. In addition, commercial properties are sometimes eligible for tax incentives.
David Ruell has successfully prepared over sixty nominations to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Here are just a few of the historic places he helped register (for the full list, see his CV):
